The Hollywood Bowl continues its summertime Classical Thursdays series with Magnificent Mendelssohn, a program featuring three gorgeous works by the famed German composer, who remains one of the most popular composers of the Romantic era. Under the baton of Nicholas McGegan, the Los Angeles Philharmonic will perform The Hebrides, Violin Concerto and Symphony No. 3, often referred to as the Scottish Symphony. Mendelssohn's The Hebrides and Scottish Symphony were both inspired by the composer's first visit to Great Britain, and are among his most celebrated works. Exuberant young violinist Ray Chen performs the evergreen Violin Concerto that Mendelssohn wrote for Ferdinand David, his concertmaster at the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra.

The seats were great. It always seems that Goldstar gives me the best seats available in a particular section! Last night was no exception. The performance was everything I hoped it would be, including a fantastic violin soloist. The weather was perfect, and the almost-full moon rose over the course of the performance. It's been years since I was last at the Bowl and I am really glad I went. Goldstar, thank you for making the event so affordable.
Also, we took the shuttle from one of the park and ride lots. I highly recommend this mode of transportation. No waiting and no crowds.
